    13. Antimicrobial Resistance
    Mar 24 2026
    According to the World Health Organisation, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria and viruses no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. AMR is now directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and contributes to 5 million deaths every year.

    So what progress are we making? And what needs to happen next to prevent a future where routine infections become untreatable?

    Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by experts Dr Alex Howard, a consultant in Medical Microbiology, and Dr Nada Reza, a Clinical Research Training Fellow, to discuss AMR, and the critical research taking place in Liverpool.

    12. Quantum
    Dec 1 2025
    From lasers used in supermarket checkouts, to the emergence of complex supercomputers, quantum is all around us. Recently the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for quantum breakthroughs, with experiments having implications for computing, sensing, and our understanding of the universe.

    At the University of Liverpool, quantum is part of our Particle Physics research frontier, where scientists probe the smallest building blocks of matter, the fundamental forces that govern them, and the technologies that help us study them. How has quantum research helped shape our world, and what could the future of quantum science bring for technology and society?

    Host Gavin Freeborn discusses the topic with quantum experts Professor Brianna Heazlewood, who leads the Cold Chemical Physics Group, Dr Jonathan Tinsley, whose work explores gravitational waves and dark matter, and Marina Maneyro, a quantum computing PhD student at University of Liverpool.

    11. Neuroscience and Pain
    Nov 3 2025
    Around the world, 1 in 5 people are experiencing pain, and in the UK over 34% of adults regularly experience chronic pain. In the last decade, our understanding and knowledge in this area has increased exponentially, with academic research contributing to the search for treatments.

    The University of Liverpool have recently launched a world leading hub - the Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre (LINC) - and new research developments in Neuroscience and Pain from LINC , could help reshape how we think about prevention and treatment for millions worldwide.

    Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by Professor Benedict Michael, Director of the Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre, and Professor Michelle Briggs, Clinical Professor of Nursing and part of the Pain Research Institute, to discuss our understanding of Pain, and how research could drive change for people around the world.
